On to Pakistan?

The Chicago Tribune is reporting administration plans for massive military operations in Pakistan during the coming year aimed at rooting out Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network. Someone more familiar with Pakistan than I will have to give analysis of this. I worry some about spreading our military too thin - trying to do too much, and thus not doing anything well. I'm a little intrigued that the administration still seems to view Iran as a potential tactical ally, despite the rhetoric. Given that and the reports of forthcoming military action in Lebanon, it may be that 2004 will see a large-scale resumption of military activity against Islamic militants.
